Patent attributes
An embodiment includes a method of forming a semiconductor device and the resulting device. The method may include forming a source/drain on an exposed portion of a semiconductor layer of a layered nanosheet. The method may include forming a sacrificial material on the source/drain. The method may include forming a dielectric layer covering the sacrificial material. The method may include replacing the sacrificial material with a contact liner. The semiconductor device may include a first gate nanosheet stack and second gate nanosheet stack. The semiconductor device may include a first source/drain in contact with the first nanosheet stack and a second source/drain in contact with the second nanosheet stack. The semiconductor device may include a source/drain dielectric located between the first source/drain and the second source/drain. The semiconductor device may include a contact liner in contact with the first source/drain, the second source/drain and the source/drain dielectric.
